Ice Reflects Solar Radiation (Sunlight)very Well,whereas Water Absorbs It

Ice reflects solar radiation (sunlight) very well,whereas water absorbs it.As the Arctic sea ice cover shrinks year after year,what effect will this have on the amount of heat retained in the Arctic?

A) None
B) The amount of heat retained will slowly decrease.
C) The amount of heat retained will slowly increase.
D) There is very little effect, because the steeply angled incoming solar radiation will evaporate seawater, resulting in an extensive cloud cover over the Arctic Ocean.
